These are Gary's photos from the Saturday qualifying session at Santa Pod on 11th September 2004. |

A drag bike sets off up the drag strip. Nearly a quarter mile left to run which should take him less than 7 seconds. |
 |
A funny car (really a full sized dragster shortened and fitted with a rear hinging body). |
 |
These engines take such a lot of strain during the drag race that they have to be taken apart and measured up after each run. Anything that had become just a little too short is replaced. |
 |
A baby supercharger sits in it's carry cot. |
 |
Top fuel dragsters are amazing to watch (and very noisy). They rocket off the start line, and the next second they've crossed the finish line and deployed their parachutes. |

0 to 250mph in 5.4 seconds.......
